1418 looks like the critical level today, and it was providing some resistance, but we have since moved above it and it should now be support. The upper and lower lines are more or less a guess, with the upper being at the 10 day high, while the lower is just the equal distance from the middle level. It does sort of make sense on the chart. XLV is out front this morning, with XLI and XLK tied for second, while XLF and XLY are bringing up the rear. The Nasdaq and Russell 2000 are both leading slightly. I have oil and gold up, treasury yields down.

I have 77 new highs today, with breakouts in CLDX, ISCC, SILU, and NDSN. I have no reports scheduled for today.

About Me

I am not a financial professional, just a guy that trades my own account.
I am also not a musical professional, just a guy that makes music on the computer. Thus, two blogs, one trading and on musical.
And, no, the picture is not me, it is the late, great John Belushi, one of the inspirations for these blogs.

About ThIs Blog

This blog is focused on technical analysis of stocks and markets, putting heavy emphasis on chart analysis. My trading style is derived primarily from my mentor, William "Yoda" O'Neil, and the focus here is on leading and breakout stocks, but all forms of trading are covered to some extent. Economic and political news that effects the market are also topics here, and the blog may occasionally become a platform for my political and philosophical ranting. I keep several spreadsheets on Google docs which track various aspects of the market and readers are welcome to vies and comment on them.

Google Docs Spreadsheets

There are several spreadsheet that I maintain on Google docs to track various watchlists and trends in the market.

1. The earnings list - a group of small and micro cap, low float stocks that have exhibited recent rapid earnings growth. They are modeled along the lines of William O'Neil's CAN SLIM system, but limited to small cap, highly volatile stocks.

2. The relative strength list - a group of stocks which are near 52 week highs and have shown an increase in average daily volume. The list is limited to the top 200 stocks according to my methodology, which will be detailed on one of the pages of the spreadsheet.
